MAUR MANDI (BATHINDA) SEPTEMBER 27:
Setting the
political agenda for the coming Lok Sabha elections in 2014, Punjab Chief
Minister Mr. Parkash Singh Badal today called upon the people to give a
befitting reply to the discriminatory and apathetic attitude of Congress led
UPA government by showing them the door to install the NDA government at Center
for heralding a new era of prosperity and overall development in the country in
general and Punjab in particular.
Addressing
a massive rally organized by the SAD-BJP here at local grain market, Mr. Badal
said that the upbeat mood of the people in the today’s rally was a prophecy for
the UPA government that its days were numbered, as its fall was imminent under
its own weight due to rampant corruption, un-controllable inflation and
autocratic style of functioning resulting in ill-conceived anti-people
decisions. He blamed the Center for
usurping the legitimate powers of the states to its own advantage thereby
diluting the federal structure of the country.
He emphasized the need that states should be given full autonomy at
least free hand in sorting out state-related issues like sanctioning of link
roads and drinking water schemes etc.
Mr. Badal said: “It is highly derogatory that the states had to depend
heavily on Center for even petty issues whereas Central government is adopting
tough posture rather addressing these issues liberally”.
Mr. Badal equated the indifferent attitude
of Congress like a parasitic plant “Amar Bel” which was bound to vanish the country
especially the common man to whom it considers its votary. He pointed out that the UPA government was
bent upon to throw all the democratic norms and constitutional ethics to the wind. He said that the deliberate denial of drought
package to Punjab was a testimony towards Center’s step motherly treatment to
the state as the other states like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Odisha
had been allowed this package while we had been deliberately kept out on the
pretext that the state government had not requested the Center to send a
special team to assess the damage.
Making mockery of the Center’s plea on this count, Mr. Badal asked them
whether the Central team was bigger than team of the two Central Ministers
under the chairmanship of Agriculture Minister Mr. Sharad Pawar accompanied by
Rural Development Minister Mr. Jairam Ramesh who held detailed parlays with the
senior officers of the Punjab government led by Cabinet Minister Mr. Adesh
Partap Singh Kairon, who had demanded a special financial package of Rs.5112
crore to bail out the beleaguered farmers as well as state government for
incurring extra expenditure to save paddy in the wake of drought like conditions
across the state. He categorically said
that Center was in no mood to extend financial package to Punjab as it was
concocting one excuse after another to deliberately exclude Punjab
from it.
Listing the major achievements of the
SAD-BJP government, the Chief Minister said that it was a matter of great pride
and satisfaction that our state had been ranked No.1 in Education and adjudged
the best state in Health sector for excellent infrastructure. He said that the state government had
embarked upon an ambitious program for the cleaning of rivers at a huge cost of
Rs.2500 crore which had been badly polluted due to reckless disposal of municipal
sewage and industrial effluents into it.
Likewise, all the households would be provided with safe drinking water
in all the cities, towns and villages keeping in view immense significance of
quality water to ensure health and hygiene of the people. Realizing the tremendous success of the
recent mega-medical camps organized at village Badal where nearly 17000
patients were diagnosed and medically treated for various ailments, the
government has now decided to organize another two-day Mega medical camp at
Mansa on November 3 and 4, which would be later replicated in other parts of
the state.
Conceding
the demands put forth by the MLA Maur Mandi and Irrigation Minister Mr. Janmeja
Singh Sekhon, the Chief Minister announced that Maur Mandi would be soon
accorded the status of Sub-Division in the next Cabinet Meeting. He also announced to establish a Land
Mortgage Bank besides Govt. Senior Secondary Schools for Boys and Girls. The Chief Minister also announced to set up an
ultra-modern grain market besides sanctioning adequate funds for fire tender to cope up any eventuality arising
out of sudden fire incidents.
In
his address, Deputy Chief Minister and President Shiromani Akali Dal Mr.
Sukhbir Singh Badal felicitated the people of Maur Constituency for scuttling
the game of Congress Party and its B team PPP by electing SAD nominee Mr.
Janmeja Singh Sekhon adding that this largest ever rally in the history of Maur
gives a unmistakable message that days of Congress party and its proxy parties
were over in Punjab. He said that people of Punjab
have reposed their unflinching faith in the leadership of S. Parkash Singh
Badal, Chief Minister Punjab who has ensured record development in the state.
He said that it was vote for development, vote for transparency in governance
and stamp of approval for governance reforms initiated by SAD-BJP government.
Deputy
Chief Minister further said that we are moving with full speed from day one to
further accelerate the development of the state. He announced that all
distributaries in all constituencies would be relined as Chief Minister has
approved most comprehensive program for mini irrigation in the state. He said
that besides ensuring integrating development of all 142 cities at the cost of
8775 crore, all villages would be provided internal concrete roads within next
3 years. Mr. Badal said that in last term we provide government jobs to 1.20
lac youth and we would soon start recruitment process for 1.5 lac vacant posts
in the government departments. He said that Malwa would be lucky as textile hub
would generate employment avenues for 1 lac youth in coming 4 years. Announcing
3rd edition of world cup Kabbadi, Mr. Badal said that inaugural function
would be held at Bathinda on December 1 and for the first time teams from
Africa and Europe would participate in the
tournament. The Deputy Chief Minister assured that Maur was all set to get new
face lift as they have best advocate as their MLA who pleads their case very
forcefully.
Training her guns against the Congress
led UPA government, Lok Sabha MP Mrs. Harsimrat Kaur Badal said that instead of
formulating any pro-people policy the most corrupt Congress led UPA government of
the country has plundered 4 lakh 60 thousand crore Rupees through the scams
like 2G, CWG, Adarsh society and now the coalgate. She said that on one hand
the state government under the stewardship of Chief Minister Mr Parkash Singh
Badal has left no stone unturned for ensuring the welfare of all sections of
the society but on the other hand the UPA government has made the life of
people miserable by plundering the public money. Mrs Badal said that the denial
of the drought relief package to state was an ample proof of the anti-Punjab
stance of the Congress adding that the need of the hour was that NDA government
must be formed at the Centre to make sure that state makes 50 times more
progress.
Making a scathing attack on the PPP
leader Manpreet Singh Badal, the Lok Sabha MP said that this “B” team of the
Congress has been taught a lesson by the people of Punjab
as all of its candidates were poorly defeated in the state assembly elections.
She said that the people were now well aware about the tactics of the Congress,
who have always used such defectors for derailing the progress of the state.
Mrs Badal urged the people strengthen the hands of the Shiromani Akali Dal
(SAD)-BJP combine by ensuring that the alliance wins all the 13 Lok Sabha seats
of the state in coming Parliament elections.
Addressing the gathering Cabinet
Minister Mr Bikram Singh Majithia said due to its anti-people stance the
Congress led UPA government has been reduced to minority adding that the
President of India must convene a session of the Lok Sabha and ask that the
government to prove its majority. He said that it was an ironical situation
that Congress led UPA Government, which had came into power on the name of
common man, has today broken their backbone by hiking the prices of the
essential commodities in an unprecedented manner. Terming the UPA as the most
corrupt government of the country, Mr Majithia said that in the last eight
years of their ‘misrule’ the Ministers of this government have plundered far
more wealth than what the Britishers had done in the tenure of imperialism
spanning for around 200 years.
He said that it was unfortunate that on
the one hand the UPA government was wrongfully denying the drought relief
package to Punjab but on the other it was
illegally diverting the tax payer’s hard earned money in Congress General
Secretary Rahul Gandhi’s Constituency, for carrying out developmental works. Exhorting the people to rout out the Congress
party in the coming Lok Sabha elections, Majithia said that the time has come
when Punjabis must teach this party a lesson for their anti-Punjab decisions.
Terming Manpreet Singh Badal as a traitor, the Revenue Minister said that by
joining hands with the Congress in a clandestine manner the PPP leader has
deceived the ‘Panth’. However he said that the voters of Punjab
were wise enough to teach him a lesson for the treachery against SAD during the
assembly elections.
Earlier, in his welcome address,
Irrigation Minister Mr. Jameja Singh Sekhon thanked the people for the
overwhelming response in making today’s rally a grand success. He assured the Chief Minister that the people
of Maur Mandi would repeat the same history of extending exemplary support to
Harsimrat Kaur Badal in the next parliamentary elections with a thumping
majority. He appealed the Chief Minister
to accept the demands of the area which had been grossly neglected by the
earlier Congress regime.
Prominent amongst others who spoke on the occasion included Senior Vice President SAD Mr. Balwant Singh Ramoowalia, SAD General Secretary & Member Rajya Sabha Mr. Balwinder Singh Bhunder, senior Akali leader and constituency Incharge of Talwandi Sabo Mr. Amarjit Singh Sidhu, former MLA Mr. Mangat Rai Bansal and District Rural BJP President Mr. Dyal Singh Sodhi.
